Often, it's difficult to see the gap in sensor dimensions only by checking out a spec sheet. The image underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the M381 and W530.

As you can see, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Sony W530 to produce more detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged M381 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
